An article by Rowena Chiu - an Asian woman who worked as an assistant to Weinstein. He attempted to rape her in the late 90s.

There is a documentary on iPlayer with various women speaking about their experiences.

She Said, which is getting excellent reviews, is about the women who broke the story in the New York Times.

I met Rowena a couple of times when she was a student at Oxford: very brilliant, focussed and lovely. I was incredibly surprised when I heard she’d left film production - it didn’t quite add up. When the documentary came out last year, I did wonder if that was what had happened to her - I just didn’t realise quite how horrific it must have been - both the abuse but also the cover up. Based on my incredibly brief encounters with her, I’d say she is absolutely telling the truth and if anything, she’s understating it.
